ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Red Wings fans have their eyes on the forecast to see if Friday will finally be the day when their team will play their home opener.

For three days in a row, the Red Wings home opener against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs has been postponed due to rain. The last time the Red Wings home opener was postponed for three days in a row was 2018.

Friday’s game is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. and doors will open at 5 p.m. But will the game be postponed again? First Alert Meteorologist delivers his forecast live at Innovative Field.

Fans can exchange tickets from the Red Wings’ first three postponed games for any future home game of their choice this season. Ticket exchanges must be in person at the Innovative Field Ticket Office. You can get tickets for other games this season here.
